February 9, 2016 updated by: Jesus Alberto Plata Contreras, Grupo Rehabilitacion en Salud

Natriuretic Brain Pro-peptid (Pro-BNP)Changes in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure Enroled in a Controlled, Supervised Exercise Protocol Within a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Evaluate pro-BNP levels, oxygen consumption, functional class, and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure after participating in an exercise program and compare them baseline and 2 months, with another group who underwent an educational program.

Study Overview

Detailed Description
